ClaRK! Kent

lol, gay

Ginny Weasley. That is all. Although she did become a grade-A slut in the 7th book. Low-cut dresses at weddings? The slag. I'm with stok on the moratorium on silly spoiler tags. Shall we just get it over with? NO, NOT DOBBY!

Dear God I hope not. That'd be seriously, seriously wack.

I love that the Wiki page has now been locked to stop fucking morons changing it back to the pre-release version, and thus removing the plot spoilers.

Bwahaha.

I can assure you it is. And yes, it is.

Agreed. 17 years for that random deus ex machina? Naff off.

You crackas don't know shit, ngh. The Amy Winehouse Buzzcocks clearly ruled them all, largely because it was such a work and everybody fell for it. AMYxCORE! Plus, this song is dire.

Well, if you were too cheap/poor to have pre-ordered the book and you'd just like to know the ins and outs of the plot, it's on Wiki. Surprisingly quickly, too. I imagine certain bits have been skipped/skimmed, but the basic integral details (ie: what they'll put in the resulting movie...) are all there. This isn't an information spoiler, just a comment spoiler, but I'll play it safe for all you Potter fans... Spoiler: Click here to view Rowling's definition of "main character," as in "evil goes for main characters" when discussing that characters will die, requires some investigation.

Dibs.

Rock'n'roll is The Kinks. Yeees. Although GnR are glam rock.

Yeah, I bought it. I've just drubbed Newcastle 3-1 on the opening day of the season thanks to Berbatov, and also Peter Ramage being a twit and heading a corner into his own net. D'oh. Trying not to go overboard with wacky signings, just a few big ones - Sebastian Kehl from Dortmund, somebody called Farfan as a left winger, and a guy from Czech-land called Sjrna as a utility wingback. Plus some Scottish teenager as a training prospect. Lost Gareth Bale to Fulham of all people, 'cos they just wanted him on loan and I'm a tight bastard. More than £2.5 million for a teenager? Good day, sir. Given all of the money they have, Chelsea make some stupid-ass signings in this game.

Much love for Reno and Kuja, who is actually far more badass than anybody gives him credit for. As Norro pointed out, he eulogises on his lonesome! That's cool. I was too young for the big Street Fighter craze, so M. Bison means little to me really, but I guess he's pretty well deserving of his spot. Huzzah for Biggs & Wedge, and Dante out of Devil May Cry is also pretty cool. Yippee. And 'cos I know people were wailing about it a few pages back, I voted for 'Sim.' Deal with it.

I'm sure this has been asked at least 50 times in this very long thread, but meh. Don't hate me because I'm super-saucy. Right now, is this one worth buying? I sold a lot of games recently in order to fund my ability to eat, my PS2 management sims included, and now that I'm earning money again I do rather want something back. Apparently, FM is the very definition of management sim awesomeness, so is it worth me getting it now? Apparently there's a new one coming out soon, but I've not heard much on that front in a while. And, are the specifications particularly taxing? Will my was-top-of-the-line-in-summer-2005-when-I-got-it laptop be able to cope?

You've just described Leeds.

Kreacher's there because Rowling told the producers that he'd be useful to have seeded for the 7th movie. As for the Trelawny thing, it's entirely irrelevant. Dumbledore lets her stay at the castle because he's a nice man, not just because she made that prophecy. It's not particularly relevant in the film, so they cut it out. Big deal.

I saw it last night, I had a good time and quite liked it. Not the best film ever made, probably the best one in the film series thus far though which is encouraging, really fun and does a good job of taking what it needs from the book and cutting/circumventing the miscellaneous, although I agree that it did get a bit jumpy at times. The photography was really nice, some real effort made this time around, although I didn't like the new-look Dementors at all. Nitpicking. I've read and really enjoyed all of the books, and watched it with some other 'book fans' so for me what was most interesting was the chatting about it afterwards, and the (fairly well-substantiated, it turns out from research) theory that Rowling has been hinting/seeding to the directors and screenwriters just what important stuff should be left in ahead of Book Seven's release. Wikipedia notes that Kreacher the house-elf wasn't in one draft of the script, but was reinstated after some gentle prodding from JK, for instance. So, we had a good time discussing what was left in and taken out, and whether or not that can give any hints as to what will come to the fore in Book Seven. I also liked some of the subtle touches in the movie - Ginny Weasley's jealous looks to Cho Chang, Voldemort instantly being badass by holding his wand in the most impractical/devil-may-care fashion possible, and the animations of the magic duels to name just three. Also, Rupert Grint is turning into a pretty good comic actor, and it's almost acceptable to sort of fancy Emma Watson right now. Plus, the Lovegood bandwagon is right on the money, she was awesome.

Bah, nobody can stop THE FIGHTING MACKEMS! "THIS... IS... SUNDERLAND!" Rawr.

I hardly think Naughty America University is going to make waves at the Sundance Festival next year.

And get byes in Europe against German teams as a part of a reparations deal. TEOL and Bigal need this for their football/wrestling diary.
